Chapter 4
Hi guys since Jack's been missing for the last two chapters here's one with his POV, hope you like it!
"Don't you worry, don't you worry child," Jack sang along to his radio, "see heaven's got a plan for you," he sang as he grabbed a cold energy drink from his freezer he made his way to his living room falling down lazily on his couch, he popped the cap of his energy drink and took a long swing from it as he reached for his laptop, he went to his email to check for any new job offers he groaned when there was nothing. Jack knew the only good thing he could do was look after kids, he realized it was his calling from a young age, so when he realized he could make a living out of just taking care of kids and making them laugh he jumped at the chance. He had a pretty good business going for a while back in Burgess but things changed and he had to get far away from Burgess which is why he ended up moving closer to his uncle North, well at least what he called him. North was his father's closet friend, Jack grew up thinking the guy was Santa Claus so even now that Jack is an adult and he knows Uncle North isn't Santa Claus and he isn't really his nephew North still calls him his nephew and Jack still calls him his uncle. It was hell starting from scratch again but it had to be done, he had a few families that hired him but they all needed him sparingly it wasn't the steadiness he was used to, he couldn't stand how alone he felt just being in his apartment. Jack hated feeling so alone it reminded him of what he ran away from; Jack wasn't very good at running away he liked taking a challenge head on, facing a problem with his fists up but there were things he just knew he couldn't face so he picked up his stuff and left. He put his energy drink on his coffee table and lifted his feet onto it; he leaned his head back on the couch and closed his eyes trying not to think about anything back in Burgess, his couch began to vibrate snapping his head up and he began to search his pockets for his phone pulling out to see a picture of his Uncle North, "Speak of the devil." He chuckled as he walked over to his radio turning it down before answering the phone, "North, Hey." He said a small smile appearing on his face.
"Jack, my boy," he boomed, Jack could hear mumbling behind North, he was probably still at the clinic.
"Still at work," Jack asked "I must have done something really bad for you to call me" Jack joked, "wait am I on the naughty list?" Jack chuckled to himself.
"On naughty list," North laughed, "you hold record," He said more seriously, "but we wipe slate clean," he chuckled.
"What's the occasion?" Jack asked walking to his refrigerator to get another energy drink.
"Job opportunity," North said as a another voice said something about getting him coffee, "employee of mine needs nanny she asked me if I can give you call," North explained as the voice said something about a tooth and Rapunzel, "Please give me second, Jack," North chuckled out.
"Sure thing North," Jack said leaning against his kitchen wall opening his energy drink.
"Hiccup talk to nephew while I deal with ladies," North said as an audible yelp came out of another person's mouth before something like shuffling came from the other line.
"He-hello," a man's voice said.
"Hi I'm Jack, I'm guessing you're Hiccup what is that like a nickname?" Jack asked before taking a swig from his energy drink.
"No, it's my name" Hiccup sighed, "my parents wanted to keep the tradition going."
"You mean there is more than one Hiccup out there in the world?" Jack asked chuckling softly.
"As far as I know there are three," Hiccup answered, "you're full names Jackson Frost right?" Hiccup asked a little more quietly.
"Uh yeah how did you know that?" Jack questioned the stranger over the phone.
"Uh well," Hiccup began when the sound of crash came through the phone, "I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING," Hiccup yelled as a woman's voice yelled something about killing him, then another woman's voice yelled something about holding her back so he could say something, "Uh, sorry about that," Hiccup said then there was another crash, "this is going to sound weird but," he began to say when there was another crash and then an audible thud then what sounded like a struggle.
"I got it!" a girl yelled, "Hi I'm Rapunzel you can call me Punzie," the girl introduced herself.
"Hi, what happened to Hiccup?" Jack asked honestly fearing for Hiccup's wellbeing,
"Oh he's fine," Rapunzel giggled, "he's just you know laying around," she said then there was more struggling, "um you're North's nephew right the nanny?" she asked sounding like she was trying to dodge thing.
"Yeah, how did you know?" he asked wondering what the hell kind of people North employed.
"Oh well you see," she began then there was another crash, "she's getting loose Hiccup!" the girl yelled, then another crash then screaming.
"Hello?" Jack said hearing shuffling, "hello?"
"North help!" he heard what he could only assume was Rapunzel and Hiccup yell, then there was another yell and then some laughing.
"Jack?" North questioned, Jack could still hear some giggling on the other side of the phone.
"Yeah, is everything okay over there?" Jack questioned seriously curious.
"Fine, employee fun," North chuckled as Jack could hear someone saying something about a tooth and something being cute when angry, "anyway employee is need of a nanny she was wondering if you are available?" North questioned before shushing everyone in the room.
"Uh yeah I am," Jack said considering if he really wanted to work for one of those crazy employees.
"Good," North boomed and Jack could hear two people whispering something to North, "Oh yes good plan," North snickered trying to whisper but like many times before North failed, "please feel free to come here and meet her Jack." North said Jack could hear what he assumed were Rapunzel and Hiccup yelling at him to look his best and brush his teeth and to bring coffee.
"I can swing by in a few minutes" Jack said shaking his head as he drank his energy drink, "tell them I don't like coffee but I can pass by Dunkin' Donuts or something."
"I will let them now," North chuckled as he repeated what he told them to his employees then he heard cheering, "I must deal with the workshop now, the employees will be anxiously waiting for you Jack."
"I'll be there quick as a bunny," Jack chuckled.
"Very well now say goodbye to nephew employees," North chuckled.
"BYE JACK HURRY UP WITH THE COFFEE!" he heard two voices say collectively before the line went dead, Jack laughed before drinking the rest of his energy drink 'what did I get myself into?' Jack thought to himself as he walked to his bedroom to get ready to meet the North's crazy employees.
